I was changing DD in the loo at a playcentre the other day, a mum comes in with her 9-ish month old DS, takes off trousers, opens nappy and finds its one of those lovely exploding poo's that our little angels are capable of springing on us. Luckily it wasn't a leaking one - but it was HUGE!

The mum takes one look and says "Eurgh, think we'll leave that one for your dad when you get home", closes the nappy back up, redresses her DS, sprays some Impulse on his bum and goes back out.

They stayed at the centre for another hour before leaving.

Seriously!

Omg! That is definitely wrong....

wukter · 17/07/2010 12:39

omg, poor little chap.
How do you know they stayed for an hour after?

QueenOfFlamingEverything · 17/07/2010 12:40

Oh god thats awful.I know someone who, if her DD has a wet/dirty nappy when her DH is due in from work in the next hour, leaves it for him to do when he gets in.

secunda · 17/07/2010 12:41

Doesn't that hurt them and give them nappy rash/chafing? How horrible.

LifeIsButtercream · 17/07/2010 12:44

They were sitting at a table near ours, I was giving DD dinner - I wasn't watching them but she happened to have a distinctive top on so you could see her from a mile off! Its not a big place and is quite open plan.

I've been guilty of leaving DD in a dirty one (she is 15m) if she has dropped a stealth bomb while in the buggy or something but never intentionally!

Maybe she had a serious poo-phobia

what a cow!

waitingforbedtime · 17/07/2010 12:44

That is just plain cruel.

Jojay · 17/07/2010 12:46

That's really bad - her poor baby wwas probably red raw by the time they got home

I hope it howled all night as payback

lovechoc · 17/07/2010 12:47

that's horrid, poor child I always changed DS as soon as I noticed a smell no matter where we were - I personally would hate to sit in a dirty mess so why should a child!

secunda · 17/07/2010 12:47

I don't often say this, but if she's prepared to leave her baby sitting in its own shit for hours she doesn't deserve it.

expatinscotland · 17/07/2010 12:48

OMG how horrible.

My son gets dire nappy rash and yeast infections if he's not changed frequently enough.

ReasonableDoubt · 17/07/2010 12:52

Gross. Really nasty.

ApocalypseCheese · 17/07/2010 12:57

That is neglect, lazy, cruel, bitch.

I will never forget dd screaming in agony with a raw, bleeding , backside (she'd done one in the night and slept till morning)

Poor thing ended up with an awful infectin

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 17/07/2010 12:59

I don't understand how she could physically do it! I am racked w3ith guilt every morning because I've left DD in the same nappy all night (wet not poo).

expatinscotland · 17/07/2010 13:02

apoc, my son gets like that just from teething nappies and stomach bugs. it's awful! he's had to see the GP twice to get prescription strength creams and spend time in a pair of regular knickers (no garden, we live in a rented flat so he can't really go naked).

i can't imagine leaving him in a poo-ey nappy by choice.

ReasonableDoubt · 17/07/2010 13:02

Me too@ItsAllGoingToBeFine.

My DD has always been a fantastic sleeper, but the downside of that is that she is sometimes in a wet (and occasianlly poo-ey) nappy for hours. I always feel dreadful about it. I don't understand how you could knowingly subject a baby to that level of discomfort and lack of hygiene. Really lazy and quite horrid.

accidentalchickenkeeper · 17/07/2010 13:18

Awful, absolutely bloody awful.

I've always changed a dirty nappy within a few minutes, no matter where we are. I assumed everyone did so too but aparently not.

An ex friend used to leave her son in a dirty nappy for what was imo far too long. She'd get distracted doing other things, or would wait till they got home. She would then wonder why He had constant nappy rash

sheepgomeep · 17/07/2010 13:20

I've got friends that do this unfortunately,my friends can barely look after themselves let alone 2 kids under 3. Its not uncommon for both to leave thier kids for hours soaking wet and dirty, I change them when I can but it annoys me so much, the youngest always has terrible nappy rash

ShadeofViolet · 17/07/2010 13:26

Awful awful awful

mistressploppy · 17/07/2010 13:29

That's pretty bad. I can be lazy but that's really going some - poor baby

Easywriter · 17/07/2010 13:36

OP Fu*%ing hilarious!

You nearly made me spit out the tea I was drinking! Result!

Am ABout to read the rest of the thread and no doubt ponder the world of sore bottom that wee child must have experienced... brilliant though.

KickArseQueen · 17/07/2010 13:40

Itsallgoingtobefine, Why on earth are vyou racked with guilt at leaving your baby in the same nappy from bed till morning? Thats what everybody does.........

Leaving a child in a pooey one is nasty, but one nappy from bed to morning which contains just wee is fine.

gagamama · 17/07/2010 13:41

How awful, poor baby. Even if she'd just taken off the nappy she'd already opened up FFS and replaced it with a new one without cleaning the baby up, it still would've been lazy but slightly better than just shoving the same nappy back on. Poor little thing. And spraying fucking awful Impulse on him too, as if he didn't have enough to cope with!

Easywriter · 17/07/2010 13:41

Easy wheezes off into the distance!

Clearly not at all funny in RL, but on paper...

ApocalypseCheese · 17/07/2010 13:48

dd was the same expat can't imagine why anybody would knowingly leave their child in their own filth It's downright cruel.
